Originally from Delaware in the USA, I moved to London in September to complete a 12-week coding bootcamp at Makers Academy. From there, I moved to Dublin, where I worked as a software developer at Popdeem. Following a brief stint at Ardian Group, I am currently working as a Software Consultant at Solution Street in Herndon, VA.
When I'm not coding, you can find me watching Netflix, reading fantasy/fiction, or traipsing through the countryside taking photos.
